Native Americans often referred to the June Full Moon as the Strawberry Moon because the strawberries were being harvested in June. The actual time of this "full moon" in Seattle was about 4:02 AM Monday morning, June 20th (yesterday). We were afraid we had missed the event due to a mostly cloudy sky. However, around 5:30 AM we happened to look to the west where their was a clearing near the horizon. As you can see, we were lucky!
Lovely. I've never heard of Strawberry Moon, ahem. I didn't even see the moon tonight but it looks beautiful in your photo. Happy Summer Solstice to you.
